I’d be grateful if you could pray for me as I have noticed in the past week a facial lesion I have had for a few months suddenly changed, doubling in height and turning pinkish-red when it used to be the same color as my flesh. It also is tender so I am obviously a bit concerned it might not be normal.

I am going for a check-up a week from tomorrow for a different issue (I’ve been sick almost my entire first month back at college) and am going to ask about it. But I am seeing an entirely new doctor (attending college away from home doesn’t afford the luxury being able to have a regular doctor).

Perhaps I am just very paranoid as cancer runs in my family. Two of my grandparents and two uncles passed away from cancer, an aunt and an uncle (though he is not a blood-relative) are currently dealing with cancer, another aunt had cancer as a teenager, and my cousin and his mom (my aunt by marriage but she’s also my mom’s cousin who happened to marry my dad’s brother) have had skin cancer.

I’m really trying to trust God and not worry but it’s tough and I would appreciate prayers.

Thank you and God Bless!

Rebecca, I’m glad you are going to the doctor so soon.
May God guide your doctors in their care of your health needs.
I shall keep you in my prayers and remember you at Mass.
May God bless you.
 
Lord, I pray hard for Rebecca that she may be healthy, free from serious diseases. I also pray for her doctor that he/she may be guided in making diagnosis / assessment.

I ask this through the intercession of Mama Mary.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
Thank you for the prayers! I came home for the weekend (my sister, her fiance, and I all go to the same college that is two hours from home) and my dad is really concerned about the lesion so his concerns is making me a little more nervous than I was before. He usually is the one to say “oh it’s probably nothing” so for him to be concerned is saying a lot. We thought it might be an infection but the strong salve for drawing stuff out didn’t do a thing so I don’t think it’s an infection.

I think it will probably need to be removed regardless of what it is. Even though I have had major leg realignment surgery when I was 16 (I also have cerebral palsy), needles and the thought of any procedure scares me especially when I am not with my parents. I do have an amazing friend who helps me on a daily basis so at least she’ll be with me on Thursday. And if I have to have to see a specialist I am hoping my parents can come up for that.

God Bless!
Rebecca

So sorry I forgot to update on how my appointment went. My uncle passed away from pancreatic cancer on Wednesday, we were extremely close, and I just returned to campus from the funeral. Toughest funeral I’ve been through thus far.

The lesion’s size went down a lot prior to the appointment, and she said it looks ok, so it is up to me if I want to remove it…still debating, if it stays the same I might wait till Thanksgiving break when I am home to have it done. I want to discuss it with my dad but with my uncle dying we haven’t had time.

I was dealing with ear infections (3 in one month) but they are gone, praise God. I do have fluid behind the ear drum so she put me on generic OTC Zyrtec. I think it helps. She did a strep test and culture and both came back normal. She also did a CBC test to check for underlying infections, still waiting for those results and am a little worried as I am still not feeling “right.”

My uncle who is a chiropractor knows his stuff when it comes to vitamins so he’s going to get me some to hopefully strengthen my immune system.

Thanks again for the prayers and support!
 
I decided it would be a good idea to have it removed though it has remained fairly the same for past month. My appointment is tomorrow and I am getting really nervous…I do not like needles so that’s probably a huge contributor to my anxiety. Plus, I follow a website dedicated to praying for kids who have cancer and just tonight one of the children I saw is 11 yrs told and was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma after having a mole removed from her cheek.

I am trusting it will turn out ok but I am still worried…at least I am seeing my favorite doctor who I have seen since I was little and I am at home this week so maybe it will be a little easier when it comes to the procedure and waiting for the biopsy results.

Thanks for the prayers and God Bless,
Rebecca

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

In the name of The Father and The Son and The Holy Spirit
AMEN
